For their first "Weekend Update" segment after the recent string of controversial cabinet announcements from Donald Trump, co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che did not hold back. "This week, Donald Trump continued to announce everyone he's going to fire in six months," Jost said, adding, "On Wednesday, Trump nominated Matt Gaetz for attorney general.

A Russian air strike on Ukraine on Sunday shook a fragile consensus among the Group of 20 major economies drafting their joint statement at an annual leaders summit in Rio de Janeiro, three diplomats familiar with the talks told Reuters. European diplomats are now pushing to revisit previously agreed language on the topic of global conflicts after Russia unleashed its largest air strike on Ukraine in almost three months.

"The Harris campaign certainly spent more than they raised and is now busy trying to fundraise," said Adrian Hemond, a Democratic strategist from Michigan.
